The Evolution Of Feminine Loyalty Trends In Twentieth And Twenty-First Century Appalachian Literature., Candace Jean Daniel
The Evolution Of Feminine Loyalty Trends In Twentieth And Twenty-First Century Appalachian Literature., Candace Jean Daniel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Loyalty to the self, family, and husband create interesting tensions for feminine characters in Appalachian literature. Traditional views of loyalty dictate that the Appalachian woman chooses to be loyal to her husband and family while abandoning her self loyalty. Appalachian women writers define the terms of loyalty and the conflicts these three levels create. Furthermore, studying a progression of novels from 1926 to the present shows that feminine loyalty trends have changed. This argument focuses on examining loyalty trends of feminine Appalachian characters, studying the contentions among those loyalties, specifically showing how loyalty patterns have changed in literature, and offering …
Propaganda And Poetry During The Great War., Norma Compton Leadingham
Propaganda And Poetry During The Great War., Norma Compton Leadingham
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the Great War, poetry played a more significant role in the war effort than articles and pamphlets. A campaign of extraordinary language filled with abstract and spiritualized words and phrases concealed the realities of the War. Archaic language and lofty phrases hid the horrible truth of modern mechanical warfare. The majority and most recognized and admired poets, including those who served on the front and knew firsthand the horrors of trench warfare, not only supported the war effort, but also encouraged its continuation. For the majority of the poets, the rejection of the war was a postwar phenomenon. From …

Paradise Lost And The Medieval Tradition, Justin Lee Mathews
Paradise Lost And The Medieval Tradition, Justin Lee Mathews
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This thesis is a comparative study of the Medieval influence on the creation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and the purpose of this thesis is to establish Paradise Lost as a poem designed to correct what Milton saw as the errors of the Medieval theological worldview. A range of topics are discussed, from the loyal angels to the Garden of Eden to Hell and Satan, and particular attention is given to Dantean parallels in these areas of Milton’s poem. The thesis shows how Milton responded to such Medieval concepts as courtly love and salvation theory and demonstrates how Milton …
Exploring The New Front Of The Culture War: 1984, Oryx And Crake, And Cultural Hegemony, Terry Ryan Hall
Exploring The New Front Of The Culture War: 1984, Oryx And Crake, And Cultural Hegemony, Terry Ryan Hall
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Dystopic fiction is defined by its depiction of oppressive societies with power structures that seek to exercise control on its citizens. Orwell’s classic 1984 depicts a society that is a reaction to World War II and totalitarian regimes. This society depicts elements of cultural hegemony that are altered during the move to postmodernism. Atwood’s Oryx and Crake evolved to reflect the political climate that grew out of the Cold War’s end, while retaining the cautionary messages regarding the state’s ability to control. Oryx and Crake can be seen as completely reversing the concern from centralized power to decentralized power (represented …
Conquering The Sublime: Terror And Control In Moby-Dick, Matthew William Burkett
Conquering The Sublime: Terror And Control In Moby-Dick, Matthew William Burkett
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick represents an experiment in Romantic literature. In addition to relying on the works of British Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Melville also applies Edmund Burke's ideas of the sublime to depict the inherent terror of hunting whales on the open ocean. According to Burke, the sublime is anything that inspires fear in the human mind, and Melville describes whaling in sublime terms. Melville also employs the sublime to critique 19th-century American society. The novel attacks humanity's drive to conquer both the natural world and other human beings. I will examine …
Reconsidering African-American Identity: Aesthetic Experiments By Post-Soul Artists, Letitia Guran Tudorica
Reconsidering African-American Identity: Aesthetic Experiments By Post-Soul Artists, Letitia Guran Tudorica
Master's Theses
The present study attempts to offer an overview of the Post-Soul aesthetic and its role in re-writing African-American identity and focuses explicitly on three authors: Spike Lee, Touré, and Suzan-Lori Parks. My premise is that Post-Soul art is a direct result of the sweeping changes brought by the post-Civil Rights era in the African- American mentality, which inaugurated a new age in African-American art. Thus, the Post-Soul generation represents blackness as diverse, free to define itself in its own terms; they promote a critical take on black nationalism, and new perspectives on slavery. Most of the Post-Soul artists consider themselves …
Student Writing And Composition Instruction Using Web 2.0 : The Problems And Promise Of Collaborative Technology, Bruce Robert Henecker
Student Writing And Composition Instruction Using Web 2.0 : The Problems And Promise Of Collaborative Technology, Bruce Robert Henecker
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
Educators have long sought the best methods for instructing students in the intricate art of effective written communication. Various technologies, from the pencil to the word processor, have been considered in this endeavor. With the emergence of newer digital technologies that allow students to publish writing directly to the World Wide Web, instructors have begun to explore how best to use this technology for writing instruction. Wikis, in particular, are tools many educators have begun to experiment with when trying to supplement their collaborative writing practices. This study attempts to answer three important questions: have computer-based technologies improved student writing; …
The Narrative “I” And Eye : Hawthorne’S Artist As Social Observer, Orah Dan Massarsky
The Narrative “I” And Eye : Hawthorne’S Artist As Social Observer, Orah Dan Massarsky
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This thesis considers the position of the artist in a polarized society experiencing radical extremist political tensions and which demands public allegiance and identification with the dominant ideology. Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose personal origins were grounded in the American past that formed his creative domain, was an astute social critic whose writings in the turbulent period of mid nineteenth-century America reflected an acute awareness of the fundamental crises in his time, such as slavery and the efforts towards its abolition, the perils of regional conflict that threatened national unity, the effects of increasing commercialization and urbanization of American culture and the …
Reversing The Photograph In Persepolis: Metafiction, Marxism, And The Transcience Of Tradition, Lauren Rizzuto
Reversing The Photograph In Persepolis: Metafiction, Marxism, And The Transcience Of Tradition, Lauren Rizzuto
All Theses
Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return together illustrate the growth of an Iranian girl before, during, and after the Islamic Revolution; unlike other historical memoirs, however, Satrapi's books are written entirely in comic strips. Because the author privileges the text-and-image delivery of comics, a genre usually targeted toward adolescents, rather than the ostensibly objective nature of the history book to convey both her family's and her nation's history, Persepolis does not only refute the authority of a Westernized historical record but also challenges the traditional ways in which we …
'The Fire And The Rose Are One': The Coherence Of The Prophetic Voice In The Poetry Of T. S. Eliot, Matthew Fairman
'The Fire And The Rose Are One': The Coherence Of The Prophetic Voice In The Poetry Of T. S. Eliot, Matthew Fairman
All Theses
Contrary to much scholarship on T. S Eliot's poetry, I argue that Eliot's work cannot be divided into the two separate categories of before and after The Waste Land. While most of the imagery of Eliot's earlier poems admittedly tends to be much darker than that of his later poems, it is irresponsible to disregard the general bent of the entirety of Eliot's poetry in order to claim that this difference in imagery reflects a total transformation of Eliot's message from one of strict pessimism to one of faith in the Anglican religion. Rather, much biographical and textual evidence shows …
The Progymnasmata: New/Old Ways To Teach Reading, Writing, And Thinking In Secondary Schools, Natalie Sue Baxter
The Progymnasmata: New/Old Ways To Teach Reading, Writing, And Thinking In Secondary Schools, Natalie Sue Baxter
Theses and Dissertations
Within the past two decades, theorists have begun to look back to the classical rhetorical past for answers to modern dilemmas in composition teaching. Several textbooks have been published that focus their teaching of college composition on the classical tradition. While the movement to revitalize classical rhetoric is gaining strength in universities, however, the benefits of this movement have not yet reached, in any real way, the levels of elementary, middle school, or high school education. This thesis shows how the classical rhetorical curriculum generally, and a specific part of that curriculum, the progymnasmata, accomplish important aims of modern composition …
The Compatibility Of Containment And Autonomy In Lydia Minatoya's The Strangeness Of Beauty, Rachel Jeppsen
The Compatibility Of Containment And Autonomy In Lydia Minatoya's The Strangeness Of Beauty, Rachel Jeppsen
Theses and Dissertations
Subaltern studies has overwhelmingly privileged subaltern resistance as a means for the subaltern to attain autonomy. While the group's project has made breakthroughs in rewriting Indian subaltern history, their emphasis on resistance to oppression has also essentialized what it means to create autonomy. A 1999 novel, Lydia Minatoya's The Strangeness of Beauty, challenges this essentialist view by portraying alternative behaviors that indicate autonomy. The novel is set in 1920s Japan when transnational excitement and anxiety provided opportunities for one subaltern group, Japanese women, to gain autonomy. While some feminist movements in Japan substantiate the notion that autonomy must be gained …
